Answer:D
 
This position is hedged against interest rate risk,so B is wrong.It is also hedged against directional movements in the stock,so C is wrong.The position is long an option(option to convert the bond into the stock)and so is long implied volatility,so A is wrong.Long options positions have positive gamma.
